   Web developers and designers have a tendency to be egocentric about this sort of stuff. We say stuff to ourselves like "How can anybody use this crappy product? You mean like IE over Chrome or Firefox?". The answer is if you don't know any

    I like dreamhost a lot and have an account with them, but deploying rails was a challenge so I decided on something easier. I'm competent enough to use ssh and command line to do basic things, but beyond that I have some trouble. After doin

    My apologies for the length, but I started writing something for a blog post that I never published and thought it may be of use. There is no reason to be scared of RoR, but it can be frustrating. I'm just starting to feel more at ease with

    For me it has not that hard if you have a lot of passion for what you are building. dworrad's post the other day is a great example of how he does it. It feels like a bit of a obsession - check it out. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4
